I think the problem is in the weight distribution, not the coils. Three posibility. One, that the coil purch in moving on the strut. Two, the rear coil setting is offset or not even and causing the front weight to fight. Three, your frame rail is flexing do to an accident before. You need to square your car first to see whether the frame is straight and check to see that your wheel base is even and not dog legs causing the car to pull to one side. So if your car pull to the right, than the wheel base is shorter on the right. This can be cause by front lower arm bented back. Hope this helps.

#1 and #3 are out of the question. The car was perfectly straight prior to it being lowered. It started to pull once I had the coils put in (I figured it was because my alignment was off since the car was pretty low).

I also checked the perch rings to make sure they weren't moving around and coming undone. Those are still securely on.

I guess that leaves me with #2. What should I check for in the rear coils to see that they're even?

Thanks for your help!
